Recent years have seen a broadening of the scope of immigration enforcement. As a result, immigrants free of criminal convictions, once considered low priorities for enforcement, are increasingly subject to arrest, detention, and removal. At the same time, federal immigration authorities have sought the cooperation of states and localities in the enforcement of immigration laws. While there has been growing scholarly attention paid to the ways in which legal geographies can account for variation in local immigration policies, the long‐term effects of these policies on immigrants themselves are often overlooked. In this article, we use the case of Colorado, one of the first states to pass a “show‐me‐your‐papers” law in 2006, and data from two qualitative studies to highlight the collateral consequences of enhanced immigration enforcement on immigrants’ economic opportunities, emotional health and well‐being, and academic trajectories. We situate our analysis within the crimmigration literature and discuss the implications of our findings in light of the current political climate.

梦想受阻:科罗拉多州无证拉丁裔本地化移民政策的附带后果

近年来,移民执法范围不断扩大。结果,没有刑事定罪的移民,曾经被认为是执法的优先事项,但越来越多地遭到逮捕、拘留和驱逐。与此同时,联邦移民当局在移民法的执行方面寻求州和地方的合作。虽然越来越多的学者关注法律地理如何解释当地移民政策的变化,但这些政策对移民本身的长期影响往往被忽视。在本文中,我们使用科罗拉多州的案例,科罗拉多州是 2006 年首批通过“show-me-your-papers”法律的州之一,以及来自两项定性研究的数据,以强调加强移民执法对移民经济机会、情绪健康和福祉以及学术轨迹的附带影响。我们将我们的分析置于犯罪移民文献中,并根据当前的政治气候讨论我们的发现的影响。
